· Flavoring · food preservation · stabilize the pH of food products by participating in buffering systems · beneficially impact a product’s flavor and texture · acidifiers can hamper microbial growth
2. What are the checklist to tame tartness?
· Balance the sweet/sour profile with sugars. · Use acid blends to smooth intensity peaks. · Use acidifiers that are compatible with the flavors present. · Add a second flavor component that is commonly associated with an acid tang. · Choose an acid with a mild flavor. · Use buffers. · Remove the need for the acid in the first place.
